I realise that this is a widely supported view, but I'm opposed to this.
In recent meetings I've been -1 a number of times because I think it has
become evident in a meeting that an applicant is not ready in a way that
wasn't obvious from their written application.

Usually these are social rather than technical things, such as a lack of
understanding of who is in charge of what. I consider this kind of thing
*more* important than technical ability, because when people know who to
ask and understand how we make decisions, then everything else can be
figured out by talking to people.

I think a realtime discussion is the best way to assess this kind of
thing. I remain open to compromising on this on a case-by-case basis
when it is necessary, but I see it as a compromise, not the norm.
